We are so f*cking lucky this didn’t collapse

MetLife is like, uniquely bad in this regard. Not even the Texas stadiums are this awful 😭

Mira lo que es un estadio en Estados Unidos, es ilegal caminar? Si o si tienen que ir todo en auto? No entiendo este brutalismo.

@NCDoll21 @ettingermentum Fox sports has exclusive rights (TV and radio) in the US so no talksport
English
@PTQ94 @ettingermentum Sirius had the TalkSport simulcast for the friendlies against Senegal and Germany, I couldn’t believe they didn’t have one today
English
Why the fuck doesn’t Fox Sports have a dedicated radio commentator for the World Cup. They’re just straight up using the audio from the tv broadcast so you just have no clue what is going on.

@Colin_d_m RPI is out of session right now though. The city would be practically abandoned if it wasn't for the university.

@stockpiledclay @SJWheeljack Absolutely right. /r/TiA was clearly co-opted by gamergate, 4chan, and the alt right in 2014-15.
English
@SJWheeljack Unfortunately those communities got highjacked by the alt-right and were turned into some of the earliest “antiwoke” sides of the culture war
English
Enough time has passed that I can admit the early anti-SJW's of the pre-Trump tumblr era (ca. 2014) were absolutely correct in that academic social justice language was being co-opted and weaponized by malignantly toxic, hostile people who wanted to hide behind a veil of virtue.

how strict it was on woke twitter 2020-2023

@janecoaston The guy who didn’t wear it got dragged too, which is one reason I used the word “pressured.” We have this conversation as a society every year and it’s never productive. The teams can stop the virtue signaling and players can promote whatever causes they want on their own time.
English
Stop pressuring athletes to wear pride merch. If a player cares about the cause & wants to promote it, they can do so voluntarily, which makes it more meaningful anyway. Practically forcing people to play along just breeds conflict for the sake of virtue signaling.

From @TheAthletic: On Pride Night, which was supposed to be dedicated to support and belonging, several San Francisco Giants players chose a different focus, writing Bible verses on their caps. nyti.ms/4ot9H9T

Marner’s been amazing yes but Shea Theodore is a lock for second best Vegas player,

@SnackMyFridgeUp They put in some flex posts which don't do anything to stop the crazed drivers going 45+ and these car brained psychos think it's 1 step away from communism.

@AriFleischer Remember when you stopped posting your 9/11 story as soon as the Saudis paid you? Remind me who funded bin Laden and (in your logic) Al-Qaeda?
English
He travelled to Bosnia where he volunteered for an Al Qaeda offshoot.
Congress would be within its rights not to seat him.
Our enemies should have no expectation they can infiltrate us from within.

@vanillaopinions @arachno_commie Lots of people enlisted between 9/11 and 2004. The presidents and warhawks are the main people to blame. Collins herself even questioned the DOD and military all the time as a member of the armed services committee. Ridiculous answer from her on platner.

@arachno_commie she is but its just one of those things you cant say

(She’s totally right and I hate when Iraq War veterans act like Vietnam War draftees)
The Maine Wire@TheMaineWire
Senator Collins responds to the scurrilous claim from Graham Platner that she sent him to "die in Iraq." "That was Platner's decision to serve. He was not drafted."
English
@ImNotOwned Maybe the president shouldn't be a divisive asshole, food for thought!

@alexbronzini @ayatr0llah I'm assuming someone else read the post out to him.

@CraigMWhitlock just finished The Afghanistan Papers and I will be looking to find the paperback update. Great book and account of the 20-year conflict/war.
